“No isue until recently when I was barred from further auctions without an explanation. Attempts to find out why as I had a 100% postive review having paid the money immediately on winning the auction. No answer was forthcoming following an email exchange. Will revert to eBay. More monitored and controlled and no fuss. You can talk directly with sellers. Suggest you do the same. Customer service non-existent.”

“I had an antique luxury rug that they insisted I got professional pics for - which I duly did, otherwise I could not submit the item. Then when i was ready to submit they told me that the rug had been valued by their so called 'expert' at far far less than what it was worth - their idea being that I put it in auction for nothing! Rug was easily worth £1200+ and they wanted me to put it in for £200! OUTRAGEOUS and I certainly will not be doing that. After all the emails back & forth and then finally to be told you must put it on their site for nothing is not acceptable. Catawiki are Charlatans all the way - lining their pockets with your commission and a sale value of monkey-nuts.”

“It's the disgrace of antiques dealing in modern times. Their customer service is rude and useless, their 72 hours mandatory delivery time replicates the Amazon style of toothpaste delivery, their are incompetent throughout. Never again. Paolo Rossi Barnard Italy”

“Not just that they ask for almost 16% percent for selling an item but if you buy it they want another 9% of the buying price. They rip people off and the so called experts have no idea of the worth of items”

“They are terrible at what they do. ebay is your best bet. I sold X three times. After a while I had X to sell again, they don't except it, no excuse, no explanation. Their so called 'auction masters' are nothing but a bunch of arrogant-selfindulgent-still-living-in-their-mothers-basement assholes. Steer CLEAR OF THESE WANNABE AUCTIONEERS. This is amateur hour.”

“Catawiki made me sell chinese antiques from the 18th century as 19th century and did not care about proof of age or comparable items (luckily buyers have a better idea of the item, as the selling prices show). An other object was under review for more than one month! After several emails, nobody cared and I deleted it from the list of submitted objects. A new one is already in Limbo for 3 weeks again... Pre-Columbian Objects from a collection established in the 1960's... said to be fake !? Two month later I resubmitted them. This time they got accepted... by the same expert... I have seen items where more then ten years of experience screamed: fake... sell for hundreds of dollars! Hands off this platform! If you are a seller and you are sure of what you got to offer! When you are a buyer, you either get fooled by them, or find a nice antique for a small price, because they have no knowledge of what they sell or knowingly sell everything including fakes, in most of the antiques departements!”

“I bought a lithography called La pilule rouge by a French artist. It was sent to a post office in Alicante where I live. As I had given my artist 's name ( normally I get every parcel delivered at my place), the woman at the counter refused to give it to me. That was in October. Ever since I have been trying to get in touch with the site ( how?), I told the seller who answered back in an angry tone. All I want is to know where what I paid for (144€) is. If it was returned to the owner, surely I could get it back? I am willing to pay for the postage. I have the tracking number I will write it when somebody gets back to me. Until then, I will not be bidfing on Catawiki. Nathalie Michot-Duval”

“The goods sold on there are sold as genuine, but they are actually FAKE! Catawiki's customer service is non-existent and trying to get a refund is impossible! DO NOT USE CATAWIKI! Stick to ebay - where they protect customers!”

“Bardzo kiepska obsługa. Kupiłem kolczyki na aukcji 01/11/2019r do dnia 15/11/2019 ich nie otrzymałem. Wysłałem kilkanaście maili do działu obsługi zero odzewu. Sprzedjacy Daizy Jewellery- Spain codziennie sprawdza gdzie jest wysyłka i nie ma odpowiedzi. Niestety nie polecam”

“This is a website that does not protect the buyer. Bought an item that was incorrectly described (on purpose), and Catawiki support team told be they couldn't do anything, and hung the call, leaving me to speak by myself. During the call I was calm and polite - use catawiki at your own risk.”

“I have used catawiki many times to buy different things. Not a single problem! I love the platform. I had a problem with the app, contacted the support, and after some time the app got updated and the problem was solved (i couldn t see shipments in transit).”

“Just some advice. I bid on a lot of wine which I won. The postage costs were ridiculous and so I refused to pay. First they threaten,then the get a debt collecting agency on to you and start adding "costs. Dont worry in the end there is nothing they can do and I heard no more. Ian”

“I tried to buy through Catawiki a hi-fi tuner. I placed a price of 65 euros. For three days noone offered a higher price, but the last afternoon my offer was overpriced by others, then I waited to the last minute to see the hight of the auction and being the price at 77 euros, 2 seconds before the auction closes I offered a price of 82 euros. Pay attention to this detail.2 seconds before the auction ends. Then the manager of the auction of Catawiki instead of closing the auction to my banefit, half a second before the end, he changed the time and gave another 2 minutes time for the auction. So two other byers (probably of the catawiki stuff) increased the amount of the auction to 98 euros. I did not overpriced, for I felt that I had to deal with an untrusty unhonest company.”
